After a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.10, I was unable to stream video content through Firefox. Firefox showed blank screens or unhelpful messages.

  • "unhelpful messages" - the messages may have been unhelpful to you, but they are essential for documenting the problem, and essential for this Q&A to be helpful for future visitors. Please include them in your question. My first guess on a new install is that you are trying to play DRM content and you didn't read/accept the notification from Firefox that tells you that you need the Widevine plugin

Installing a video streaming program, VLC, recognized by Firefox, solved the problem.

Perhaps Ubuntu could include a Firefox friendly audio-visual streaming package in its installation image.
